      There is the difficult balance between providing CCC's that you can get, and thus engaging the enthusiasm, and doing the difficult sneaky ones that make you appreciate a good clue. I did say todays was hard!

      why does "right hand" come before "articles" in the clue but "a the" before "rh" in the answer? Does "leading" mean "swap the order of"?

        Leading right hand articles before being immersed in tuck time with offspring. Leading Right Hand gives RH Articles - A & THE, Articles before indicates you put the Articles in front. Being immersed in - Put what you have so far inside what is to follow. Tuck - FOOD So Put A and THE before RH then Put the ATHERH in FOOD and get Fatherhood, which is a time when you have offspring.

          Gotcha. I got "RHATHE" written down here but that didn't fit in any word I could think of...

            If I made them all easy, you would soon get bored and drift away! :) It is also good when you get odd letter combinations, like CHTHONIC or TMESIS.

                  Ok, I give up. I've googled, and I've failed. WTF is CCC and how the hell am I supposed to figure whatever the hell it is you guys are figuring out.

                    I've always assumed that it's CodeProject Cryptic Crossword[^], the assumption being that the third C is for CP.

                      You should delay CCCs by an two hours or so. By the time I wake up the answers are in. I have to wake up in the middle of night to try the CCCs which is not fun at all.:)

                        I would assume the third C is for clue as in: cryptic crossword clue?

                            Yes but I will never be able to get the joy in being the first to find the correct answer to the CCC.
